Business Excellence takes centre stage at Denarau tonight

The 26th Fiji Business Excellence Awards (FBEA) will bring together leaders from government, academia, and the private sector to celebrate organisations that embody excellence, innovation, and resilience in the evolving business landscape. 

Hosted by the Fiji National University (FNU), through its National Training and Productivity Centre (NTPC), to be held at the Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort, Denarau, tonight. 

NTPC director of Productivity and Innovation Bob Mitchell said, “The Fiji Business Excellence Awards are more than a night of recognition, they are a national movement.”

 “Fiji, like the rest of the world, is navigating rapid change, from climate challenges to digital disruption. These awards celebrate organisations that are adapting, innovating, and leading with purpose. They show us what resilience and excellence look like in action.” 

The awards, established in 1998, remain the country’s highest recognition of organisational performance and productivity. 

This year’s celebration aligns with FNU’s Strategic Plan 2024–2026 Priority Area 3: Innovation, Social and Technological Development, reaffirming the University’s commitment to fostering innovation, advancing technology, and driving inclusive national growth. 

The FBEA’s focus on innovation and sustainable growth directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), by encouraging businesses to build inclusive, productive, and technologically advanced workplaces. 

As the 26th awards night approaches, the excitement is building. The event promises to spotlight organisations that are embracing innovation, leveraging technology, and contributing to a more inclusive and resilient Fiji. 

“The Fiji Business Excellence Awards represent our collective ambition for organisations to embrace excellence within their organisations, large or small,” Mr Mitchell added. 

“Through innovation, collaboration, and purpose, we can continue building a Fiji that thrives on quality, creativity, and sustainable progress.” 

Acting President and Chief Justice Salesi Temo will officiate as the chief guest at 6pm.
